Satrofic Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I tried to sent an e-mail to DFI from the technical support site and there was an JSP error so i am posting exactly what was in it. Personal Details Subject of Enquiry:OCZ VX4000 Gold Boot Problems Your Name:Nikolaos Papadopoulos Country:Grecce You cannot stand the spam that comes when you post your email address out in the wide open of a forum. RGone...

Problem Description: Although when i first bought the motherboard the memory was working fine. the last few weeks i had problem getting the system when booting to pass from the four led test by stoping on the third one. i checked and i found out it is a memory problem. i found in the OCZ forum how to check if there is a problem in my memory(http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10644). I did what they were sying and my memory worked fine with no problems in MemTest. still the problem continued. after searching on www.dfi-street.com i found that there was a problem with my board model and my memory. something about the 7 slot in VDIMM(http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10453) everything that i could find in the forum to fix it i tried it but i steel had problems. a week ago i shut down my system and i can't get it to boot since then. i updated to the latest bios to see if something was changed but still i am not able to boot. if there is a way to resolve this please help me. yours thankfull.

JiminyC Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 1. Your PSU is under-rated. You may want to look at swapping it out sooner or later. To run the sli boards you should have at least a 480 watt psu @34amps. 2. You probably cooked your ram. You wouldn't be the first. The VX and the Redline (512) ram are notorious for frying. It's poor voltage regulation at the 4v jumper. I would just rma it. GL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satrofic Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 my PSU is OK if the system posts (when it does) i run memtest and prime95 and everything is perfect(no errors what so ever).the last time i had the system running for 20 days straight without even restarting If you see the links that i give in my first post you will understand my problem.

Satrofic Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 oh and thanx for the e-mail tips. who ever correct it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addiarmadar Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Try another power supply, the symptoms fit the bill. Ive seen your clickies but Im speaking out of exp dude. Just try another PSU. It doesnt have to be a big one either. Just go get a cheap 350-400 watt one and unplug everything except the CPU, MOBO, VGA, and some fans.

RyderOCZ Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 The modstream is more than powerful enough to run that system fine....although with the 6800GT and if you overclock much it will be close. Try this procedure to see if you can get the system to boot: http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10644 Let me know.

Satrofic Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 i tried the test in that link. i say that in my first post. everythink perfect all five times that i tested it. and the PSU is ok. by the way. if i had problems when overclocking i wouldn't have made a post. i try to get my computer to boot with the memory. and by the way. i can boot the system fine with some old 256MB DDR333 memory.

RyderOCZ Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Are you turning the PSU off with the switch on the back? or just shutting down in windows and then it won't boot again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satrofic Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 i probably have a bad stick. i tried again the instructions(http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10644) to see if any lack and it boots with the one stick but when i put the other it doesn't. i then tried to take the (probably good) stick from slot 2 and i putted the (probably bad) stick in slot 4. and it sticks in the third led. if that means i have a bad stick i have one. the think is that a few weeks back when i had the same problem i did the same thing and everything went well with memtest. weird. i will RMA the ram. if any better solutions please post. and thanx by the way.
